Whirlwind

That's the word I would use for the day we've had. Cas and I got going on the morning. I put a whole load of boxes in the car and headed to the new house. Cas wanted to meet at 11:30 for lunch. After that, we went for our final walk through with our realtor Steve.

We walked through the house and headed over to the closing. This time, it worked. We got the house. The first round of paper-signing was excellent practice, I suppose. 

After that, we came back to the house and opened the bottle of champagne Steve gave us. Jeanne wanted to see the place, so we hung out in our furniture-free home for a moment until she arrived. We found a way to relax. 

After Jeanne's tour of the house, we headed to the Home Depot and had a copy of our key made. Since we're changing the locks soon, we only needed one. Somehow, the sellers only left one. Seriously, Pam and Rashid? One key? Whatever. 

We also picked up a big jug of preventative insect repellant. Cas really hates bugs. 

Back to the house, Cas went around inside and out with the spray while I unpacked some kitchen boxes. I got out of there just in time to pick up Danny and make my way to the U-Haul place for my 6:00 reserved time. We got a truck, drove back to mom and dad's house, picked up the couches they wanted to give us, drove them to the new place, put them in the living room, drove to my old place, picked up my motorcycle, drove back to mom and dad's house, dropped off the bike and returned the truck. 

Whew!

And back to the old house I went to prepare my furniture for the movers who are coming between 8:30 and 9:30 am tomorrow. 

I am so exhausted I can't think straight. I guess that was clear when Danny and I were headed to the U-Haul place to return the truck. He was driving and I was in the passenger seat. We went around the corner and started down the street to return the truck. A few feet down the street, I told Danny to stop the truck so I could get out and take my car to the U-Haul location. Duh. We were going to return the truck, but we failed to ensure our return from the place. I guess we could have walked? I'm sleepy.

And I should hit the sack soon, too. I have movers in the morning. Ready, set, whirlwind.
